After sacrificing the ancestral tomb, Zhu Biao went to Chuzhou on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang on the way back to meet Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming.

At this time, although Han Lin'er actually lived under the protection of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was still nominally the emperor of Zhu Yuanzhang, so the ceremony of greeting the monarchs and ministers could not be abolished.

Han Lin'er is also a more tragic figure, after the death of his father Han Shantong, his subordinate Liu Futong found him to support him as emperor and establish the Dragon and Phoenix Song Kingdom. However, Liu Futong proclaimed himself prime minister, added the Taibao, and grasped the actual power. finally waited for Liu Futong to die in Anfeng, and he was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Chuzhou to continue to be a puppet emperor in name only.

Such a character whose life is controlled by others at all times, even if Zhu Biao is in the name of a courtier, he does not dare to hold it up, and personally goes out of the city to greet Zhu Biao, calling him the son of the world, with a friendly attitude, and there is no prestige of the emperor at all.

Zhu Biao is a generous person, others respect him, he respects others more and more, and when he met Han Lin'er, he really completed a set of courtier etiquette, which made Han Lin'er very moved, and insisted on keeping him in Chuzhou for a few more days.

Who knew that during this stay, Zhu Biao almost suffered a fatal disaster.

It was said that Zhang Dingbian was very angry when he received the letter from the Yan family.

Yan Shi wrote in the letter: She was pregnant with Chen Youliang's posthumous son, and finally concealed Zhu Yuanzhang but was discovered by Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying used medicine to kill her fetus, and also tried to harm Chen Li, thanks to her desperate maneuvering, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to Chen Li's release as an official. Now she begged Zhang Dingbian to help her avenge Chen Youliang and Chen Li's sake, and assassinate Zhu Biao, the son of Haozhou, who went to Haozhou to worship her ancestors.

Zhang Dingbian is also a native of Hubei, and Chen Youliang is a child, when Chen Youliang rebelled, everyone swore to brothers, agreed to live and die together, stand together through thick and thin, and seek a common future.

Chen Youliang is cunning and suspicious, ruthless to others, but extremely trusting of Zhang Dingbian. Just from Chen Youliang's escape, he would rather only take Zhang Dingbian and not his family, it can be seen that the two are like brothers.

And Zhang Dingbian did not live up to Chen Youliang's trust. After Chen Youliang's death, he collected Chen Youliang's body and saved Chen Li to support him as emperor. Later, Wuchang fell, he did not want to be Zhu Yuanzhang's general, personally led a force that was also unwilling to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, risked death to break through, and chased the deer between Jingxiang, knowing that the building had collapsed, he felt that the sky was powerless, and the soldiers were tired of obeying each other, and the fighting spirit was becoming more and more depressed, so he persuaded the soldiers, disarmed and returned to the field, in order to wait for the revival.

This time, seeing the letter from the Yan family, the resentment in Zhang Dingbian's heart suddenly erupted. Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying deceived people too much! Chen Li had already abandoned his arms and surrendered and was willing to surrender, but would they still not let Chen Li go? In particular, Ma Xiuying, a woman, had such a vicious heart that she refused to leave Chen Youliang's posthumous son, and she really had the most poisonous woman's heart!

He immediately summoned the old department and rushed to Haozhou, on the way to find out that Zhu Biao met Han Lin'er in Chuzhou, and as soon as this matter was over, Zhu Biao was going to cross the river from Taiping and return to Yingtianfu. He immediately asked his subordinates to disguise themselves and buy a large number of ships, preparing to intercept and kill Zhu Biao on the river.

Zhu Biao stayed in Chuzhou for three days before saying goodbye to Han Lin'er.

These three days had given Zhang Dingbian plenty of time to prepare, and although the ships he purchased were not as large as Zhu Biao's ships and their weapons were not sophisticated, he decided to treat them the way of others. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang used a small boat to burn Chen Youliang's warship, and today he will use a small boat to burn Zhu Biao's ship.

"Success or failure is in this move, brothers, don't be afraid of death, even if you die with the enemy, you must avenge the Lord!" Zhang Dingbian cheered up his subordinates before leaving. These subordinates are all soldiers who are as loyal to Chen Youliang as him, and in order to avenge Chen Youliang, they have long put their lives and deaths out of the way.

Zhu Biao's boat traveled to Quarry Rock, and Zhang Dingbian led the boat to gush out from behind Cuiluo Peak, and these boats were all hung with Chen Han flags, taking advantage of the wind like a cannonball out of the river.

"There is an enemy attack! It's Chen Han's remnants!" Seeing this, the guards on the ship hurriedly issued a warning and fired artillery to stop the enemy.

However, the Han army ships were full of dead soldiers, driving speedboats full of firewood and firewood to rush desperately, once approaching the ship, they stabbed the hull with iron spears, desperately threw flammable materials such as fire oil and gunpowder on the deck, and even jumped onto the ship with flammable materials on fire.

In the face of these fierce enemies, the soldiers on the building ship were at a loss. Yuan Xing hurriedly said to Zhu Biao, "Shizi, let's leave the building boat first by boat, otherwise it will be too late to leave when the fire is out of control." ”

Zhu Biao hesitated, "What about the soldiers on the ship?"

"The enemy's main target is you, and as soon as we leave the ship, their pressure will be reduced, and I believe that they will be able to hold out until the Taiping army rushes to help. Yuan Xing sighed that Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao's mother and son were both big enemies and considered others for the sake of others, but this time, he said that he would not let Zhu Biao stay and fight side by side with the soldiers, and he would carry Zhu Biao and leave.

There was a Han army with sharp eyes, and when he saw a big man running to the stern of the boat with a small child on his back, he immediately shouted, "Zhu Biao'er is running away!"

"Zhu Biao Xiao'er, take your life!" Zhang Dingbian roared, raised his arm and shot an arrow.

Fortunately, he didn't have Chang Yuchun's extraordinary archery skills, and the arrow passed past Zhu Biao's ears and sideburns, which shocked Zhu Biao's heart and made his heart ache faintly.

"Protect the prince!" The soldiers rushed over one after another, covering the escape of Zhu Biao and Yuan Xing.

Yuan Xing put Zhu Biao down from the boat, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly found that Zhu Biao's lips were purple, and he was short of breath, which turned out to be a heartache that had not occurred for many years. It's hard to believe that this kid endured the severe pain and kept silent in order not to affect everyone's morale.

Yuan Xing's heart and gall were broken, he couldn't care about anything, and shouted in a hissed voice: "What about Zhu Wei? What about Zhu Wei? The prince has a seizure of heartache!" He knew that there must be Zhu Wei on the ship, and these Zhu Wei were entrusted by Ma Xiuying to protect Zhu Biao at all times, and there may be medicine on his body to relieve the pain of the convulsion.

I saw that the faces of several soldiers changed greatly, abandoned the enemy they were fighting, and hurriedly rushed to the boat, one of the captains moved the fastest, jumped from the deck into the boat, took out a few pills and stuffed them into Zhu Biao's mouth.

"Are you Zhu Wei?" Yuan Xing didn't even see the size and color of the pills clearly, and disappeared.

"Subordinate Zhu Twenty-one. The captain urged: "General Yuan will take the prince out of here first, and the prince will take the pill prepared by the master, so it should be fine." ”

At this time, it was imminent, Yuan Xing didn't have time to investigate in detail, and drove the boat to escape from the building boat suspiciously.

When Zhang Dingbian saw that Zhu Biao was about to flee, he hurriedly ordered the Han army to turn around and pursue.

The soldiers on the ships fired their cannons one after another, and the waves stirred up the heights, shaking these Han boats from side to side, and slowing down their pursuit.

Hunting in the winds on the river, Yuan Xing took advantage of the situation to go straight down the river, and saw that Zhu Biao's breathing gradually stabilized, and most of his hanging heart was finally put down.

Taiping, Chuzhou, and Yingtianfu heard that Zhu Biao had encountered the enemy at Quarry Rock, and they all drove their warships to the battlefield as fast as possible.

Zhang Dingbian saw that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and Zhu Biao's boat escaped more than ten miles downwind, and it was difficult to chase again, so he had to order his subordinates to break through and escape.
